License and ID

Settling a driver's license or ID card for a deceased relative

Update your loved ones’ Minnesota driver’s license or identification card record

Taking a moment to notify DVS about the death of a licensed driver or holder of a Minnesota identification card helps to prevent others from using your loved one’s name for fraudulent purposes.

Submit a death notice online or bring to your local office a copy of the deceased's death certificate, obituary notice or memorial card.

You can also mail it to:

Driver and Vehicle Services
445 Minnesota St/, Suite 180
St. Paul, MN 55101-5180

Return any disability parking certificates

When the deceased had a disability parking certificate (hangtag), DVS asks that relatives and friends of the deceased return parking certificates with a copy of the deceased’s death certificate, memorial card or obituary notice to your local deputy registrar or mail them to:

Driver and Vehicle Services
Special Plates Unit
445 Minnesota St., Suite 164
St. Paul, MN 55101-5164

Did your loved one own a vehicle titled in Minnesota?
